Sport: Who Won Sep. 8, 1930

¶ Policeman F. F. Shaylor of Portland, Ore.: an individual field pistol match at Camp Perry, Ohio, with a score of 49 out of 50. The other finalist, Andrew Ford of the Royal Northwest Mounted, had the same score, but was judged less able because when it came to shooting a man-shaped moving target he did not get his man as well as Shaylor.

¶ Gar Wood, famed speedboat builder and pilot: the first heat of the Harmsworth Trophy race at Detroit with Miss America IX at an average speed of 77.1 m. p. h. more than 2 m. p. h. slower than his time last year. His brother George Wood driving Miss America VIII finished ahead of their only challenger, Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs of England, whose Estelle IV and Estelle V she had been tuning up in the U. S. for two months.

¶ Gallant Fox, undejected by his beating in the Travers: the Saratoga Cup in a majestic gallop, his seventh win in eight major races this season. His earnings now total $288,125.

¶ The St. Louis Cardinals, fourth in the National League standing but pressing hard behind the see-sawing Giants and Robins: a 20-inning game—longest of the season—with the league-leading Cubs in Chicago, 8 to 7. Eight pitchers were used, five of them by the Cubs. Next day the Cubs won the second game of the series 9 to 8 in the 13th inning, after scoring 5 runs in the ninth to tie, 5-5, pulling even again 8-8 in the nth. In the third game burly Hack Wilson, Cub centrefielder, drove his 45th homerun of the season in the first inning with two men on base and his 46th in the fourth. That put him two homers ahead of the National League record, and two ahead of Babe Ruth of the American League. The Cubs won, 16 to 4, stayed .051 points ahead of the Giants who split even in last week’s critical series with the Robins.

¶ Primo Camera, 263 lb.: a technical knockout (his sist knockout in the U. S.) in the third round of a scheduled 15-round bout with tattooed Riccardo Bertazzola, 212-lb. “Heavyweight Champion of Italy,” at Atlantic City.

¶ Marvin Nelson, husky Iowa swimmer: $10,000 and the 15-mi. Canadian National Exhibition Marathon in the warm waters of Lake Ontario from a field of 173 contestants. Time: 7 hr. 43 min. 36 sec. Anne Benoit, only woman entrant, winner of last month’s unhealthy Around-Manhattan swim (TIME, Aug. 4), fell far behind, was finally fished out.

¶ Grand Master S. Tartakower of Poland: an international Chess Masters Tournament at Liege, Belgium, defeating Mir Sultan Khan of India in 37 moves by a Bishop & Knight ending in the eleventh round.
